BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1971
- Cask oak from the Limousin forest
- Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
- Terroir tawny sands
- Distillation Armagnac-type continuous still
Fifty-five years of marriage are celebrated as an orchid wedding anniversary. For a couple married in 1971, this Baron de Sigognac bears the date. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands and distilled in an Armagnac-type continuous still, it aged for more than half a century in Limousin oak casks before being kept at Château de Bordeneuve, in the Bas-Armagnac. The house tasting notes can be found below. For the occasion, allow one glass per guest and open the bottle an hour beforehand, then re-cork it: Armagnac keeps for a long time once opened. Presented in a 70 cl Cognac-style bottle.
